Book the The Wigwam with VIP Benefits

The Wigwam is a historic Arizona resort in Litchfield Park, west of Phoenix. Open since 1929, the resort spreads across a broad desert setting with casitas, suites, lawns, palms, pools, golf, spa facilities and event space. It suits families, golfers, couples, meetings and travelers who want a relaxed Southwest resort outside the busiest parts of Phoenix.

The property has a different feel from Scottsdale's desert resorts. It is lower, greener and more rooted in the West Valley. The architecture, paths, lawns and casita-style layout create a village-like rhythm. Guests can spend the day by the pool, on the golf courses, at the spa or exploring Phoenix and the surrounding desert.

Rooms, Casitas & Suites

Accommodations at The Wigwam are spread across the resort grounds rather than stacked in a tower. Rooms, casitas and suites offer a residential feel, with warm Southwest details, patios or balconies in many categories and enough space for relaxed resort stays. Recent room updates help the product feel current while keeping the property's historic character.

Casitas are a strong fit for guests who want more privacy and easier access to the grounds. Suites add living space for families, longer stays or guests attending weddings and events. The layout is useful because guests can move between pools, dining, golf and meeting spaces without feeling enclosed.

The resort works well for guests who do not need a high-rise city hotel. It is better for travelers who want space, outdoor paths and a slower pace. That makes it a practical option for family vacations, golf trips, winter sun breaks and group stays near Phoenix.

The updated room names and refreshed photography also fit the current product better. Guests should expect a resort that has kept its historic frame, but has continued to adjust the rooms for modern stays. That balance is important for a property with such a long local history.

Dining & Drinks

The Wigwam has several dining and bar options, giving guests flexibility across the day. Litchfield's is the resort's signature restaurant and focuses on a more polished dining experience with Arizona and regional influences. Red Allen's Bar & Grill has a more casual, golf-club rhythm and works well after a round or by the resort's social core.

Poolside service and casual venues add to the relaxed feel. Guests can keep the day simple with breakfast, a swim, lunch outdoors, a spa treatment and dinner on property. The resort also supports events, private dinners and wedding gatherings, which are a major part of its appeal.

Litchfield Park and the wider West Valley have additional restaurants nearby, but many guests can stay mostly within the resort. That is helpful for families, groups and weekend trips where the goal is to rest, swim, golf and keep plans easy.

The dining rhythm is relaxed, not overly formal. Guests can move from golf to lunch, from the pool to drinks, or from a spa appointment to dinner without changing the whole plan. That easy pace is part of The Wigwam's appeal.

Golf, Pools & Spa

Golf is one of The Wigwam's defining features. The resort has three 18-hole courses, giving golfers variety across a longer stay. The courses are tied closely to the resort setting, with fairways, palms, water features and desert light shaping the experience.

The pool areas give the resort its family and leisure rhythm. Multiple pools allow different moods, from active family time to quieter lounging. In warm Arizona weather, this is central to the stay. Guests can build a day around swimming, shade, casual food and short walks back to the room.

The spa and fitness facilities add another layer. Treatments, salon services and wellness spaces support guests who want recovery time between golf, meetings or desert sightseeing. The resort is large enough to feel active, but still easy to use for guests who prefer a slower day.

The activity mix also helps multi-generation trips. Some guests can play golf while others use the pool or spa. Children have room to move, and adults can keep the day simple. The resort's size makes it easy to separate and meet again later.

Litchfield Park & Phoenix Location

The Wigwam is in Litchfield Park, about a short drive west of central Phoenix depending on traffic. The location is useful for the West Valley, Goodyear, Glendale, spring training, sports events and guests who do not need to stay in downtown Phoenix or Scottsdale.

Guests can reach Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, downtown Phoenix, State Farm Stadium, Desert Diamond Arena, Scottsdale, Camelback Mountain and desert hiking areas by car. Travel times vary widely with traffic, so the resort works well for guests whose plans fit the West Valley or who want a self-contained resort base.

Spring training, golf weekends and winter sun trips are natural fits for the area. The resort is also practical for guests visiting friends or family in the West Valley. It gives those trips a leisure setting instead of a simple suburban hotel stay.

The local setting is calmer than central Phoenix. Litchfield Park has a slower pace, residential streets and a long connection to the resort. For many guests, that quieter location is the reason to choose The Wigwam rather than a city hotel.

Arizona Context

Compared with other Phoenix-area luxury resorts, The Wigwam has a more historic and West Valley identity. The Phoenician Scottsdale and Canyon Suites bring a more polished Camelback Mountain setting. Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale has a desert-edge feel in North Scottsdale. Arizona Biltmore offers historic Phoenix glamour. JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge has a larger convention-resort scale.

The Wigwam is different because it is relaxed, green, historic and strongly tied to Litchfield Park. Choose it for casita-style rooms, golf, pools, spa facilities, event space and a resort rhythm that feels removed from the city without leaving the Phoenix area.

It is a strong fit for golfers, families, weddings, meetings and guests who want Arizona sun with space to spread out. The resort does not need to feel flashy to work well. Its appeal is in the grounds, history, golf, pools and easygoing Southwest pace.

For travelers choosing between Phoenix, Scottsdale and the West Valley, The Wigwam is the more settled, low-rise option. It gives guests room, shade, lawns and resort amenities while keeping access to the wider metro area by car.
